Marcelle Dessel, a Dutch national, was yesterday convicted and sentenced
to a fine of D35,000, in default to serve three months in prison with
hard labour.

His trial was presided over by magistrate Kebba Sanyang of the Kanifing
Magistrates’ Court.

According to PC 1748 Mballow, on 30 January this year, some detective
police officers were on patrol in Kerr Sering where they found the
accused in his compound with 8g of Cannabis Sativa.

PC Mballow added that the accused was arrested and taken to Bakoteh
Police station.

The accused, however, entered a plea of bargaining with the National
Drug Control Council.
